THE RELEASE HANDLE & CORD
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top of the red
release handle so that “NOTICE” reads right side up as shown.
• Secure with an overhand knot at least 25 mm from the end of
the rope to prevent slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the loop of the manual
release cable.
• Adjust rope length so the handle (when installed) will be no higher
than 1.8 m above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot. If the
door is greater than 2.5 m in height the release cord extension kit
accessory is required.
NOTE: Final adjustment of handle height should be completed after
the opener is installed. If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal
the cut end to prevent unravelling (refer section 16).
